Oxidized Hemp Fibers with Simultaneously Increased Capillarity and Reduced Moisture Sorption as Suitable Textile Material for Advanced Application in Sportswear
(Fibers and Polymers, 2021)
Applications of hemp fibers, as a promising natural material in the textile field, mostly require improved fiber properties. In this paper, the oxidation of hemp fibers with potassium permanganate was applied to reduce the ...
Agricultural waste as a source of peroxidase for wastewater treatment: Insight in kinetics and process parameters optimization for anthraquinone dye removal
(Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2021)
The number of different technologies available for colored wastewater treatment shows the vastness of the issue. Finding the most feasible one, yet taking into account the cost, the efficiency and eco-friendliness is like ...
Pulsed electric field treatment of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, bacteria with probiotic potential
(Lwt-Food Science and Technology, 2021)
Lactic acid bacteria play an important role in functional food and fermentation products for human and animal nutrition, as probiotics, paraprobiotics, postbiotics or high-lactic acid-producing strains in biorefineries. ...
Iso- and Anisotropic Etching of Micro Nanofibrillated Cellulose Films by Sequential Oxygen and Nitrogen Gas Plasma Exposure for Tunable Wettability on Crystalline and Amorphous Regions
(Materials, 2021)
The surface of cellulose films, obtained from micro nanofibrillated cellulose produced with different enzymatic pretreatment digestion times of refined pulp, was exposed to gas plasma, resulting in a range of surface ...
An Investigation into Mechanical Properties and Printability of Potential Substrates for Inkjet Printing of Orodispersible Films
(Pharmaceutics, 2021)
Inkjet printing is novel approach in drug manufacturing that enables dispensing precise volumes of ink onto substrates. Optimal substrate properties including suitable mechanical characteristic are recognized as crucial ...
Valorization of walnut shell ash as a catalyst for biodiesel production
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
The catalytic activity of the walnut shell ash was investigated in the biodiesel production by the sunflower oil methanolysis. The catalyst was characterized by the TG-DTA, XRD, Hg porosimetry, Ny physisorption, SEM, and ...
Tetragonal CoMn2O4 nanocrystals on electrospun carbon fibers as high-performance battery-type supercapacitor electrode materials
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
We herein report a simple two-step procedure for fabricating tetragonal CoMn2O4 spinel nanocrystals on carbon fibers. The battery-type behavior of these composite fibers arises from the redox activity of CoMn2O4 in an ...
Synergistic Effect of Enzyme Hydrolysis and Microwave Reactor Pretreatment as an Efficient Procedure for Gluten Content Reduction
(Foods, 2021)
In this study, we assessed the effects of microwave irradiation of wheat gluten proteins as a pretreatment performed in a microwave reactor that could accurately control process parameters as a function of power and ...
Theoretical and experimental study of small potassium-bromide KnBr(0,1+) (n=2-6) and KnBrn-1(0,1+) (n=3-5) clusters
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
In the present paper, the results of combined theoretical and experimental investigation of small non-stoichiometric bromine-doped potassium clusters are reported. Potassium-bromide clusters were obtained by the Knudsen ...
Growth control of molds isolated from smoked fermented sausages using basil and caraway essential oils, in vitro and in vivo
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Food contamination by molds is a serious issue in food industry still today. On the other hand, consumers today demand food that is minimally processed and without synthetic preservatives and additives. Therefore, the ...
